Aws | Proof of Concept Grants
The funding measure supports researchers in systematically reviewing their research results and opening up potential areas of application in order to accelerate the transfer of knowledge and technology from publicly funded research and development.
The "aws Proof of Concept" programme addresses the "gap" in the early phase of the implementation of academic research and development results, which is often a problem for research institutions, and aims to provide impetus for the first step towards more efficient technology transfer.
The program is financed by the Fonds Zukunft Österreich (FZÖ) and managed by Austria Wirtschaftsservice. Applications are possible again from January 1, 2026.
